Beginner

I haven’t had this problem and imagine, as with everything else,it is very particular to your own circumstances. What keeps you up? Physical restlessness or mental agitation?

Do you have a physical practice that weaves the breath into the mind?

That is the only way I have found to encourage sleep when I am agitated in some way…the…[Read more]

Hey, I spent time with my dad and used massage as a way to connect to him physically and also create an atmosphere and space for sharing. At the end of his life he needed (and so did I ) to find opportunities to complete some basic misunderstandings and emotions. Healing touch offered that.

I have massage in my background though. If you…[Read more]

I think this is a wonderful discussion point. I heard Michael describe spiritual science as experiments with totally unique results each time, as contrasted to physical science which demands the same response for their truth to be accepted. This makes sense to me and is liberating.

In that spirit, it seems there cannot be one path that is…[Read more]

I am not certain I understand as I have no associations with Scientology to refer to. I do find this interesting:

“The method is of releasing ‘the charge’ of goal structures thereby achieving spontaneous living”

I think of the taoist or yogi who sits doing nothing or contemplating their navel (I remember when, as a child, this phrase was the…[Read more]

Thanks for the efforts at breaking down the words themselves and not taking them at the face value offered by others.

This offers another vision of the title the Tao Te Ching as a formula in and of itself. Now my inner inquiry will be around “virtue” as it is the manifesting force of the Unknown.

I wonder what associations you would have…[Read more]

Hey. I didn’t know that about the western alchemical emphasis on the brain. I guess it is the fire method of raising energy up into the higher centers for enlightenment? I am not sure they ignore the other organs as much as use them as fuel for the ascending fire?

My first response to the Schiavo incident is that the focus should be more on the…[Read more]

I love when that happens, a practice is understood from the inside out.

I had a situation today that induced great fear and self doubt and brought me into Fusion of sorts. A customer of mine called and complained about my work and then called the local stores and spread nasty stories.

Rather than go to the mind I went into the feelings…[Read more]

I like hearing about others experiences in the practices. The proof is in the pudding, so to speak. If you smile and imagine water than it is cooling. Voila. It also sounds like you are aware that you need this to balance excess fire.

From what I understand and experience the inner smile taps into the Formless from which both fire and…[Read more]
